In need for advice with diapers!

Hey ladies!  So this is my first pregnacy and im in need of some tips..  This seems to be a often concern cause I'm sure some of you mama bears over buy on some stuff to find out the little ones grow out way too fast..  So I mean I really need advice on how many boxes I should start out with for newborns.  Most of you will probably reply with (it depends). Of course cause all baby's are different.  I was a 6 lb baby and my fiance was 7 lbs.  So very tiny baby's..  I'm thinking my daughter since she's from a small family she will be just as tiny and grow possibly a little slower.  A friend of mine who has a son told me to start out with atleast 3 boxes of 100 count newborns diapers and 2 boxes of 100+ count of size 1 and 3 boxes size 2..  What do you guys think?  Don't want to over buy!

Don't open all the packages /cases.  Many stores will let you exchange unopened diapers for the correct sizes,just in case the little one has a growth spurt.

I would only get one size of newborn diapers. And maybe 2 size 1 boxes. Because the weight overlaps a little anyways

I wouldn't get more than one box of newborns. My son was 6lbs 12oz and he only needed 50-100, the 1's start at 8lbs but if the baby is a good 7lbs 10oz+ you'd be fine using them instead of wasting money if you didn't need anymore newborns. Babies grow fast. Lol. My son is 2 months today and will be out of 1's this coming month! It's also, if you're having a baby shower you should just hold off... I still haven't bought diapers!!! Goodluck.
